What are the Big Ideas, principles and processes that are addressed by this standard? Students are able to be teachers of their own education.
G.SR.08.04 Find area and perimeter of complex figures by sub-dividing them into basic shapes (quadrilaterals, triangles, circles). NET: 4.d. Use multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore alternative solutions. (Have multiple students use the Smart board to show shapes within other shapes. Such as local buildings or artwork.)
What specific content standards are involved? Spatial reasoning and geometric modeling
What related goals (NETS, 21Ct skills, district or school mission, etc.)? Students and teachers are implementing technology into the classroom. They reengergize the learning process, rather than just taking notes.
What are the Big Ideas, principles and processes that are addressed by this standard? The Big Idea would be for students to be confident and able to orally present without social anxiety.
G.SR.08.05 Solve applied problems involving areas of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles. NET: 2.d. Contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems. (create a wiki with several classmates that showcases the use of geometry throughout the world
What specific content standards are involved? Spatial reasoning and geometric modeling
What related goals (NETS, 21Ct skills, district or school mission, etc.)?Students work as a team to present real world applications and problems.
What are the Big Ideas, principles and processes that are addressed by this standard? Students may take pride in creating something from scratch while working as a team. They can also understand why they REALLY need to learn math.
